Warriors’ Locker Room Rift? Andrew Wiggins’ Heated Exchange With Brandin Podziemski Has Fans Panicking

Dub Nation went haywire after a heated exchange between Andrew Wiggins and Brandin Podziemski. Ever since the absence of Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors have found themselves in a scary slump. The team suffered a disheartening loss against the lowest-seeding team in the West, San Antonio Spurs. Tonight, the Dubs took on the Spurs again, but the Warriors may have another problem at their hand this time.

During the 8th-minute mark in the second quarter, Wiggins received the ball during a fast break. Podziemski also ran alongside him to assist. However, Wiggs lost the ball in the process. Following that, the duo was involved in a heated exchange on the court.

In response to the video surfacing on social media, the Dub Nation engaged in a debate, picking sides. Here are some reactions from fans.

While some section of the fans took Andrew Wiggins‘ side, others sided with Podz and blamed the 29-year-old for not passing the ball to the rookie.

Nevertheless, the heated exchange didn’t seem to impact the team in any fashion. In fact, the team put up a stellar performance in the following quarter to widen the lead. The team produced an all-round effort in the third quarter, with a 32-18 run and extended the lead to 14 points.

Importantly, both Wiggins and Podz stuck to their role and delivered accordingly, even after the heated exchange. Apart from them, Klay Thompson has taken up the job to fill in Stephen Curry‘s shoes. So far, he has done a decent job, but the team also needs someone to step up to improve the team’s offense.

While the fans debate over the brief snippet of heated exchange, the Dubs have had much more serious debacles in the locker room. Let’s take a look at some of the Warriors’ bench rivalries.

The Warriors bench problems

This season started off with a minor Steve Kerr-Jonathan Kuminga tussle, but it was immediately sorted out when Kuminga was pushed to the starting line-up. Apart from that, the team remained a happy bunch throughout the season.

However, in the last season, the team had one of the worst report card in terms of camaraderie. It’s not a shock anymore whenever someone pulls out the Draymond Green-Jordan Poole issue. It all began when Green threw a punch at Poole during a practice. The after effects of the ugly act reflected throughout the last season.

Apart from that, there were multiple occasions where Green and Kevin Durant‘s heated arguments on the bench during their championship run. Fortunately, tonight’s heated exchange didn’t affect the game’s result, as the Warriors took home a comfortable 112-102 win. Will the Wiggs-Podz issue blow after tonight? Let us know in the comments.
